Head Coach Johan Ackermann is under no illusions about the task in hand as Gloucester continue their Aviva Premiership campaign at Worcester on Saturday, the Warriors coming off the back of a fine win at Exeter last weekend.

Skipper Willi Heinz told GRTV that he was proud of his team's commitment in the 24-17 Aviva Premiership win over the Leicester Tigers at Kingsholm, but also in the brand of rugby they played in testing conditions.

The Aviva Premiership returns to Kingsholm on Saturday with Gloucester Rugby taking on the Leicester Tigers (kick off 2:30pm). Head Coach Johan Ackermann is anticipating a challenging game against a talented Tigers squad.

Jeremy Thrush described captaining Gloucester as 'awesome' and a privilege despite Saturday's 31-19 Anglo-Welsh Cup defeat, explaining that the team had set out to play good rugby and enjoy themselves and he felt that they'd achieved that at times.

Speaking after Gloucester bowed out of this year's Anglo-Welsh Cup with a defeat at Newcastle on Saturday, Head of Academy Richard Whiffin praised his team's efforts at Kingston Park but pinpointed a lack of accuracy which contributed to a win for the Falcons.

It's a short hop up the M5 for Gloucester Rugby on Saturday as they continue their Aviva Premiership campaign at Sixways against the Worcester Warriors, and the Cherry and Whites make two changes to their starting line-up.
